Notes
  • Significance: Woodhills was built for Fremont and Cora Older during 1913-14 in a wooded area deep in the foothills of Cupertino. Designed by San Jose architects Wolfe & Wolfe, the flat-roofed shingled structure is a composite of the informal late 19th-century American Shingle Style and the more rigid and controlled Moderne mode, just beginning to be recognized as a major stylistic trend at this time. In adapting a residential design to the irregular landscape, the architects exhibited a liberal degree of artistic freedom in their use of the two very different styles, creating a sophisticated and somewhat picturesque design through the asymmetrical massing of rectilinear sections and terraces. Fremont Older is a prominent figure in the history of San Francisco journalism and social reform at the turn of the century, best known for his anti-establishment crusades and occasional sensationalist newspaper stories. Cora Baggerly Older, also a journalistic social reformer, wrote for Bay Area newspapers and published many monographs on local history. After her death in 1968, Woodhills was heavily vandalized and threatened by destruction. Plans to raze the historic residence were blocked in 1977 when it was acquired by San Jose newspaperman Morton Levine and virtually reconstructed during 1977-79. Woodhills was placed on the National Register on December 20, 1978.
